A great many people who have read in
this paper of the drawing of q $1,000
prize in The Louisiana State Lottery on
the 18th inst. by ticket held by F.Epstein,
of this city, have been somewhat incredu-
lOus in the matter and do not believe
that the money was actually received here.
In order to put the matter beyond doubt
reporter of the Eye, interviewed Mr.,
Epstein and was shown a certificate OF
deposit in the ROondhouse Bank for the
sum of $4,000 and was assured that the
money was drawn by ticket number 61,-
sos which was held by him, jointly with
seven others who had formed combina-
tiOn to buy tickets. Mr.. Epstein's state
ment was also confirmed by the cashier OF
the bank.
Mr.. Epstein says he now knows by
practical experience that any person hold
ing a lucky ticket in the Old reliable
Louisiana State Lottery, may rest per
fectly easy for they ere sure to get their
money.

The many friends of Messrs. Mont
gOmery Ward d. Co., formerly at 227 and
220 Wabash Av, Chicago, will be glad to
know that the rapid growth of their busi-
ness has forced them to remove from Wa
bash Ave. to III, 112, 113 and ia Michi-
gan Ave, where they have purchased a
magnificent building, the seven floors of
which they will occupy exclusively. These
seven floors are each 1O0x165 feet, aggre-
eating nearly 10000 square feet (about 3
acres) of floor surface. The new quarters
will enable them to handle their large
business to the better advantage of their
thousands of customers. Fifteen years
ago Messrs. Montgomery Ward d Co. Oc-
cupled but one room and that only 25x40
feet. The enormous growth of their
business during these fifteen years can
only be explained by the fact that they
sell direct to consumers, supplying all
their wants. and never misrepresent any
article. The success of this house proves
the old saying, that Honesty is the bess
policy and from this policy they neve,

OCTOBER.

October is the month that seems
All woven with midsummer dreams;
She brings for us the golden days
That fill the air with smoky haze,
She brings for as the lisping breeze,
And wakes the gossips in the trees,
Who whisper near the vacant nest
Forsaken by its feathered guest.
Now half the birds forget to sing,
And half Of them have taken wing,
Before their pathway shall be lost
Beneath the gossamer of frost
Now one by one the gay leaves fly
Zigzag across the yellow sky;
They rustic here and futter there,
Until the bough hangs chill and bare,
What Joy for us-what happiness
Shall cheer the day-the night shall bless
IT'S Halloween, the very last
Shall keep for us remembrance fast
When every child shall duck the head
To find the precious pippin red!

New South Wales has sent to the
Queen tor her approval an act facili-
tating divorce, which equals the IA
nous Connecticut laws. 1t provides
that whenever husband and wife re-
main away from each other for three
years without personal or written
communication either may get di-
vOrce. Cruelty continued for two
years is legitimate ground against
the husband, but not against the wife.
A continued habit of drunkenness for
two years is, however, a valid plea for
either party to put against the other,
provided it prevents the husband
from providing for the wife or the
wife from performing her household
duties. \ man, apparently, may keep
as drunk as he pleases, provided he
gives his wife plenty of money.

It may not be generally known that
the toss of a cent decided the name Cf
the second largest city on the Pacific
coast, and that, too, not so many years
ago. 1t was in the summer of 1912,
when immigration was pouring into
Oregon. Two of the Pioneers, A. L.
Lovejoy and man named Overton,
while on the way from Vancouver to
Oregon City. stepped ashore from
their canoe at the point where Port
land now stands, and, having examined
the topography of the surrounding
country, concluded at once that it was
the eligible position for a town site.
At some time during the ensuing
winter they returned and commenced
at once to clear off the land and make
preparations for the erection OF log
cabin. Before they had carried out
this scheme OVertOn disposed of his
interest in the claim to man named
PettygrOye, who, in conjunction with
LOvejoy, had the claim surveyed and
the boundaries established during the
summer Of 1914. A log house was
completed and occupied during the
next winter by an employe. In the
summer of 1916 a nearer accurate sur
vey was made, and the ground was
laid off into streets and blocks. Love-
joy wanted to name the city Boston,
in honor of the Capital of his native
State, while Pettygrove preferred to
honor Portland, Me-, the city whence
he came. The toss of Il cent decided
the question in honor Of Portland

Mrs. Hannah v. Ross, a so-called
remarkable materializing medium,
was caught the other day in Bos-
ton, her trickery exposed, and her.
self arrested as a person getting
money under false pretences. This
is nothing but the exposure of the
same old fraud that for thirty years
has fourished wherever fools or
crednlOus cranks are common. The
Eddy family, after several years of
successful imposition in Chitenden.
w., whose story was eloquently
told by the infatuated Col. Olcott
in the New York Graphic, were ex-
posed and had to scatter. John
Eddy was exposed and mobbed in
Illinois last winter, and his sister,
Mrs. Brown, has been repeatedly
exposed at the East; and yet these
frauds seem to get fat on exposure,
just as gross quacks in medicine
and surgery seem to grow popular
on the very notoriety of some out
rageous case of malpractice. Spirit
ism is the most contemplate de-
fusion of modern times. Here is
an illustration of the absolute fatu-
ity which seems to characterize the
sincere believer in modern spiritism,
which we find in the Springfield
Republican:
An old and we'll known spiritist showed
me on his parlor wall the other day shad-
owy crayon sketch, full length OF little
girl, who in one hand held up her apron
her nose rose which she had picked out of
the heap in her lap. 81 gladly gave $50 for
that" said the old gentleman. as he sur
veyed the sketch :" 1t is a picture by a
spirit artist of my little granddaughter, who
died at months and is now ii year old"
Evidently the old gentleman believed, if
the picture was what he said IT was,
good likeness, that the child had
not only grown up in the spirit land,
but had found somebody TO curl her
hair with tongs and dress in conventional
frock and then set her To the occupation of
gathering flowers OH the other side OF Jor-
dan.
A more absurd case than this is
where the spiritist carried about in
his pocket the spirit photographs
of his two children who were still
born, but were represented as stall
wart boys of II years of age, clad
in fashionable clothing of the cut
and style of the present hour. This
man knew enough to get elected
president of life insurance COM
pany, and knew enough to swindle
the company. He was of the earth
earthly, and his conception of the
spirit land was of the same utili-
tartan level. There is a Boston
spiritist who has seen 500 material
izations, and is not yet certain
whether any of them are true OF
false. He has seen his uncle and
George Washington waltz out of
dark cabinet together, and he would
like to believe that his uncle is
really keeping better company than
he ever was able to in this world.
